Currently Browsing: "Darren Aronofsky"

There’s been a lot of news in the past 24-hours around the next project of director Darren Aronofsky.

Darren Aronofsky is currently working on a new project: one that shows you what it was like inside one of the most audacious heists of all-time.

This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, we Inglouriously review the recent releases while getting Thirsty and coming up with awkward puns for the film titles. We also get voted World’s Greatest Dad or something. Seriously, I’m not even trying anymore because my attention span is so Shorts.

Portman. Kunis. Scissoring. That image could really be the entire marketing campaign don’t you think?

We may have taken for granted that Darren Aronofsky was going to end up being the director for Robocop. It’s likely that he’ll still do it, but a new scheduling problem may make it that much harder to pull off.

There is something to be learned by looking at the current situation of director Darren Aronofsky and so many other filmmakers before him: if you make a critical hit such as The Wrestler, all of those ‘passion projects’ that have been collecting dust in studio offices in Hollywood seem to ‘magically’ gather steam.

In 1986, “Watchmen” was published as a limited series comic book. Twenty-three years later, it’s finally being released as a film. Here’s a look at what it took to get here.

The Wrestler spends so much of its time intimately relating the audience to The Ram’s tolling profession as a wrestler, and to his dejected life as a solitary man, that the film ultimately hinges upon the supposition that The Ram’s career and personal life are sufficiently interesting to warrant such an extremely introspective look (fortunately, they are.)

You’ve already heard that Mickey Rourke and The Wrestler are phenomenal. Here are a few more reasons why you should see it for yourself.

Kevin and Neil wind down through a massive month of movies, commenting on everything from characters’ heart conditions to tattoed strippers past their prime (but still fun to watch).

“Ultimately, the film is about a guy who wants to be loved.”

No one likes a sell out. But selling out goes both ways. This time of year, directors sell out in a different way. I’m talking about all the major mainstream Hollywood directors who “sell out” to do the award film released at the end of the year.

The folks at YouTube and the Sundance Film Festival have teamed up once again this year for Project: Direct, a program that supports truly indie filmmakers by allowing them the opportunity to win their way into the Sundance line-up.

New photos from The Wrestler show the resurgence of Mickey Rourke, the legs of Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood looking very, very pale. Check out the Oscar buzzworthy stills inside.

The Oscar buzz is building, and soon you’ll get a chance to see it for yourself. Until then, Fox Searchlight is whetting our appetite with a new trailer for a movie that’s pinned us to the ground for the three-count.

People who drink lattes and know things about “film” have been all abuzz about Mickey Rourke’s performance in Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler ever since it made its debut last month in Toronto. And we are contractually obligated to agree.

With the heavy acclaimed garnered by his film The Wrestler, starring Mickey Rourke, at this past week’s Toronto Film Festival, it seems as if everyone was vying for a chance to talk to director Darren Aronofsky about some of his upcoming projects.

We’ve been hearing all kinds of great things about Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler, as it was easily one of the most visible films coming out of this year’s Toronto Film Festival. And now, we’ve got an idea as to when we might actually see the film.
